Thanks for the puns ;-) No disrespect intended, but... we all seem to feel the same, but no one has more info?

Can anyone give a comprehensive overview of what is happening with the Court of the Dead line? I understand it's run into painting problems, delays, more delays, maybe an over-enthusiastic "print-run" for some of the statues... Can anyone explain what Sideshow are doing? thanks

I'm not that ancient. remember my motto? "Polystone collectors never die, they just smell that way"

Yes, friend ;-)

Thank you

Thanks, that's superb

Thanks. But I've even forgotten some of the pieces I have ;-) Do you know of a place where I could browe the whole range easily? I tried pinterest and found quite a few hits, but far from the whole range....

I am searching for a comprehensive gallery of all statues from LOTR and Weta. Most of my collection is packed and I would like to remind myself of the complete range ( statues, busts, etc) Sideshow used to have a museum on its site for retired figures, but I think it's disappeared.

Hi, I've not been able to find the answer in the forum but maybe I did not look in the right place. I display a few select LOTR statues in my medical surgery office, on a high shelf, away from prying hands... No direct sunlight but over months, sometimes years, dust accumulates. What is the best...

Thanks for the welcome. It's funny, and scary, to see how, once you start looking at polystone again after a few years...., in Michael Corleone's words "I thought I was out... but they pull me back in!"

Hi, though I'm new here and thus have noooo reputation, I'm a long time collector of LOTR statues. I'm really interested in this piece but have no idea what the going rate would be and if opportunities are frequent or rare ( on ebay or elsewhere ) . I'm in France... If any of you have info or...

Hi, I live in France and started collecting LOTR Sideshow pieces around 2003, I guess, having missed the first really big pieces, like the original Balrog, because in 2001-2002, buying overseas was not as practical as it is today, and there were no or very few retailers then. For a while during...
